The world needs more visual note-taking tools. We have enough Apple Notes/Obsidian/Notion clones with incrementally better features.

sometimes clarity isn’t about ordering thoughts into a linear list - it’s about giving them room to sit next to each other 🧐

imagine believing billionaires are evil because they create things, but politicians are good because they promise things

amazing mental models, impeccable critical thinking skills

[Naval @naval]

The people who start the wars don’t fight them, the people who spend the taxes don’t pay them, and the people who forgive the criminals don’t live next to them.

Of course we’re going to have too many wars, too much spending, and too much crime.

It’s 3:01 am, and I can’t sleep because I have an idea for a note-taking app UI that combines markdown (Obsidian, Bear) with outliners (Logseq, Tana). Itching to build a prototype to see if it can actually work.

[Nagarjun Palavalli @palavalli]

@tana_inc do you have plans to release an API? Also, do you have a public product roadmap?

[Nagarjun Palavalli @palavalli]

I grew up on South Indian carb-heavy breakfasts that kept me full for hours. Tried overnight oats today — felt full at first, then hungry all day despite having a big lunch.

Does anyone else struggle with this? How did you cope with it?

[Nagarjun Palavalli @palavalli]

Binge-watching hobby electronics projects on YouTube has me itching to build something. Middle-school me would have been in awe of how much the hardware game has changed (cheap microcontrollers, 3D printers, etc).

Does anyone have advice for a nostalgic beginner?

[Nagarjun Palavalli @palavalli]

@stairwaytoevan_ Gave it a try but it just doesn't feel the same. A lot of the people I care about aren't on BlueSky yet. Same deal with Mastodon or Threads.

[Nagarjun Palavalli @palavalli]

When Twitter says “For You,” do they mean “For You” in the sense that it’s actually not for me? Because that would explain a lot.

The algorithm’s been off for months, and it’s already driven two of my friends off the app entirely. Only the “Following” tab is keeping me here.

[Nagarjun Palavalli @palavalli]

NYC has two types of coffee shops: ones so packed with laptops it feels like a tech startup conference, and Starbucks, where you can always find a seat because “cool” left the building years ago.

[Nagarjun Palavalli @palavalli]

Found my reading sweet spot: Kindle books on a phone screen. The narrow width makes text scanning effortless and faster. Pretty sure this puts me in a tiny minority of readers, but curious if anyone else feels the same?

[Bill Nelson @SenBillNelson]

Congratulations to @SpaceX on its successful booster catch and fifth Starship flight test today! As we prepare to go back to the Moon under #Artemis, continued testing will prepare us for the bold missions that lie ahead -- including to the South Pole region of the Moon and then on to Mars.

This morning, I had an idea to build a macOS checklist app that lives in the menu bar. I turned to Claude for help because I am a web developer. 5 mins later, I had a working prototype. It's far from production-ready, but seeing it materialize so rapidly was a magical experience!

The only way to feel better about yourself is to do shit worth feeling good about.

[Nagarjun Palavalli @palavalli]

“Don’t want ice in your boba? That’ll be 50 cents extra.”

Only in America 😅

[Nagarjun Palavalli @palavalli]

Claude's got our attention now, but OpenAI, Meta and others are already cooking up something exciting in the lab. In the AI arms race, user loyalty is as stable as a house of cards in a hurricane. Buckle up, it's a wild ride.

[Matt Wolfe @mreflow]

I'm curious how many people are still using ChatGPT over Claude?

I go to Claude nearly 100% of the time now. I've managed to clone everything I was doing with my custom GPTs into Claude Projects and it works so much better for me.

I only use ChatGPT now when I need it to pull details from the web.
